Thompson parked his automobile beside a Wilmington parking meter the other day, and started to put his nickle in the slot. A little girl walked up and asked, "Mister, what do you think you're going to get?" 0So I'm told, Allan Gawthrop will soon begin doing a column on advice to husbands-who have to keep house while sick folks are around. £Down at the Kiwanis club Ladies Night we were talking about chickens and turkeys, and Lt. Comdr. Myrtle Carver of the Naval hospital said she had heard someplace that one couldn't raise chickens and turkeys together. I had to question that because when I was growing up on a Cabarrus county farm, my folks got along all right with chickens and turkeys and me running around together in the yard. If they could raise them with the three of us surely the fowls should survive. 0 Mayor Heyward. Campbell's pronunciation of bear over the radio the other night mav draw a lot of folks to Holly Ridge.

Jacksonville is one of the prettiest towns I've ev en seen from the air. You should be as surprised as I was. Frankly.

I'll know what to the folks." she said, "because I've heard every alibi known to man or woman. It won't be tough for me to think up an excuse." 4 Mrs. H. C. Johnson and Mrs. T. Newton Cook went over to Kinston Monday and in one store the women were clamoring for candles. Candles, candles, they were crying. In another store, the counter where the candles were was so crowded you could hardly get up to it. So. the Jacksonville people inquired why all the interest in candles. "The lights are going to be off for five days," they were told. So—-you know the answer, Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Johnson fought their way to the counter and bought candles, too, Christmas candles, any kind of candle, scratched and bent ones. They didn't want to be ki the dark, either. But they were illumined by the newspapers Tuesday morning, which said that Kinston was going to have a dimout to conserve power, necessary because of its ailing power plant. Anybody around here want to buy some candles? Apply sceond and third house on Bordeaux from New Bridge.

'Women At Peace' Week Opens Here Tomorrow Atomic Bombs Expected To Become Dime-A-Dozen Variety Of Destruction Bv HOWARD YV. BLAKFSLKK, Associated Press Seienee Kditor £ Philadelphia —- <JP) - Atomic bombs cheap enough so that tens of thousands of them may be dropped in the next war were predicted by Dr. I. Robert Oppen heimer. the scientist who headed tlie making of atomic bombs at Los Alamos, New Mexico. Dr. Oppenheimer spoke at the first postwar atomic energy con ference held jointly by the Amer ican Philosophical society and the National Academy of Sciences. "We have made a thing," said Dr. Oppenheimer, "that has alter ed abruptly and profoundly the nature of the world. "The atomic bomb is a very ordinary thing in some ways but —in a world of atomic weapons wars will cease. "Because it is known that the projeci cost us two billion dollars, and we dropped just two bombs, it. is easy to think that they must be expensive. But for any serious undertaking in atomic armament —and without any elements of technical novelty whatever, just doing things that have already been done, that estimate of '"-ost would be high by something like a factor of one thousand. Atomic weapons, even with what we know today, can be cheap." He said that except for the pro tecting hills the second bomb., at Nagasaki, would have "taken out" 10 square miles or a little more. Great steel girders of factories were twisted and wrecked, he de clared. and some of these wrecked factories were miles apart. New medical discover \es rorn the atomic bomb were reported by Dr Robert S. Stone, University of California. They were made in studying the rays emitted by 30 common chemical elements which are transformed into substances like radium. Beta rays, streams of electrons, were produced so powerful that a single overexposure of this radia tion caused skin cancer in an'mals. These rays have long been known to cause cancer, but never in a single shot. Some of the radioactive by products. he said, if absorbed into the body, will cause sarcoma (can cert of the bone. Plutonium, the new metal that makes bombs, is just as dangerous as radium if taken into the human body.
